Yes, soft-opening. They may not have things just perfect for you on the first day. But ease up. You
can deduce from this mix of street art, $1 decks of playing cards, free pool, vintage Playboys
scattered about and a name referencing a 1947 John Lee Hooker blues song that they’re going for... not

And the DMK guys are in charge. Which, simply put, means Hatch-chili nachos. It means sliders with peanut
butter, jelly and bacon. It means vodka Picket Fence cocktails. It means good things.

So, the scene: you’ll come here after work for frozen Mezcal Mules. A trucker-cap guy beside you
is drinking a Hamtramck (Stroh’s + 100-proof whiskey). A bridal shower is hanging around the pool
table causing trouble. A Stooges song comes on and one of them asks, “Who’s this?” You lecture her on
Detroit’s rock history.
